    Cant decide! need help! Raptor/450r orr??

    Im looking to buy a new quad but i cant decide what i want or need. I do alot of trail riding but also do some road riding. I was going to buy a predator but i cant seem to keep wheelies up very long with them and thats one of my favorite things to do so i was looking at some raptor 700s and honda 450rs...What quad do u guys believe would be best for my type of riding??? THANKS

    If I was a full time trail rider I would be on a raptor 700 or a 700xx. Big bore long stroke reliable motors that your more than likely not going to get bored with.

    Yeah i think thats what im going to do. I hear the honda 450 is a good quad but that 700 should give me the power i want

    Get the 700xx if your a trail rider. We trail ride sometimes and my buddy on the 700xx is all nice and cushy ride while me on my 450 feels every single rock.

    The 700 raptor is pretty mean. Stock vs stock it'll put the hammer on a yfzr in a straight line. I seen a review where they put the 700 and the yfzr head to head on a track and in the woods. The 700 was of course better in the woods buts wasn't far off of the yfzr track time. I never felt right on irs quad. I like being able to slide the @$$ end around. But u won't get beat up as much, I don't mind a beating haha. But u can't go wrong with either 700 I don't think.
